Information Sought On Largo Man Who Disappeared in 1994

LARGO, FL — Largo police detectives are continuing to investigate the missing person's case of James Woodard from 1994.

In September 1994, family members of Woodard, 43, grew concerned when they were unable to make contact with him after several months. The last known contact by family members with Woodard was in April 1994.

The investigation into Woodard's disappearance uncovered a trail from the date he was last at work in Pinellas County on April 29, 1994, to the date he checked out of the Tropic Isle Hotel in Bradenton Beach on May 13, 1994.

He hasn't been heard from since. Woodard was last known to be driving a 1993 Mazda and was believed to be in possession of a .380-caliber firearm he purchased shortly before he disappeared.

Anyone who has information on Woodard's disappearance is asked to contact Detective Bolton with the Largo Police Department Investigative Services Division at 727-586-7480.
